Baildon Heritage Trails Ferniehurst and Baildon Green BAILDON HERITAGE TRAILS Ferniehurst and Baildon Green Walk (Distance: about 3 miles. 5Km) The walk starts at the Cricketers public house which stands on Green Road. Walk uphill a short way from the pub (up Green Road) past the notice board which provides information about Baildon Green and the surrounding area, which we shall look at again later. Turn right along Bertram Drive, which was named after Bertram Roberts who was one of the sons of Sir James Roberts who lived at the Knoll here in Baildon (and later at Milner Field, Gilstead - see The Coach Road to Shipley Glen Walk in this series). This road runs across the common land of Baildon Green, which gives it such a pleasant open aspect. Most of the houses you come to on the far side of the green are fairly modern, but here and there are older stone houses. Continue along this road, passing one such on your right, a small stone house behind substantial hedges, and a newer block of flats called Green Bank Court. Just past the flats look for a paved way running across the grass to your right, among the trees. Follow this path until it joins a track and turn right down the track; this was the carriage drive for the Knoll which stood where the flats (on your left) have been built. The Knoll 1 Baildon Heritage Trails Ferniehurst and Baildon Green The Knoll was a large gothic-looking house which was built in the late 1850s/early 1860s by Charles Stead who was the first non-Salt director at Salts Mill. The land had originally belonged to the Ferrand Family, and it was sold to Titus Salt who then sold it to Charles Stead. There are photographs of the house but no building plans have survived. The house had beautiful grounds, the extent of which can be glimpsed from the 1893 Ordnance Survey map. Charles went bankrupt in the 1890s and moved away to the Morecambe area. The house was sold to the aforementioned Sir James Roberts who (along with a The Knoll house and gardens (OS 1893) consortium of business men) had taken over the running of Salts Mill, and when Sir James moved to Milner Field his son Bertram and his family then lived here at the Knoll. Members of the family continued to live in the house until after World War I, but following Bertram's death the house had various owners and there was even a suggestion that it should become a museum for Baildon. Eventually both the house and the estate were sold to Baildon UDC: the house was pulled down in the 1960s and the present flats put on the site. As you walk down the track you can sense something of the mansion's former grandeur from the remnants of the Knoll gardens around you, and also small flights of steps which can be seen here and there. The wood on the right is known as Fairbank Wood after the family who used to live in a farmhouse on the edge of Baildon Green, on the site where now stands Bank View House. In The Knoll Lodge 1948 the area around the 2 Baildon Heritage Trails Ferniehurst and Baildon Green drive was laid out as a recreation ground for Baildon; there were even rules and regulations for its use. There also used to be a small lodge halfway down the drive but this has been demolished. At the bottom of the track there was originally a set of gates but due to vandalism these have been removed recently (they are still visible on the left in this drawing, made in 2006). The house on the left of the gateway was the main lodge for the Knoll, and there were kitchen gardens up the hill on your left. Walk through the gateway and go across the road in front of you (Greenwood Road). Our way lies along Southdown Road, but first look at the stone building on the corner of Southdown Road and Green Lane: this is Greenwood Villa which was built by the Walker family who were cornmillers at the Manorial Mill, which stood on the banks of the River Aire at Baildon Bridge. The stone bungalow on the opposite side of Greenwood Road (on the corner of Green Lane) was one of the lodges for Milner Field where Sir James Roberts went to live. It is called Coach House, and has been much altered and extended, but sympathetically, so the enlargement is not immediately obvious. Coach House, at the junction of Coach Road and Green Lane From The Knoll to Ferniehurst Now return to Southdown Road and make your way along it. The green space over the wall to your right, which was the site of several rows of terraced houses, now affords a lovely view. The large rather utilitarian brick building on the other side of the green area - the Barracks - is now a recreation centre, left of which is a small cricket pitch. Beyond the Barracks you can see Shipley clock tower and, far in the distance, Lister Mill chimney. 3 Baildon Heritage Trails Ferniehurst and Baildon Green Just before the road reaches the junction with Cliffe Lane look again to your right; this vacant building plot (now much overgrown) was the site of Greencliffe School, which closed when Glenaire School was built at the bottom of Thompson Lane. The building was used for various purposes before it was finally demolished. Cliffe Lane When you reach Cliffe Lane turn left and walk uphill; follow the road as it bends to the right and becomes Cliffe Terrace. Cliffe Lane is now no more than a trackway which leads uphill on your left (on the bend), but this used to be the original route up to Baildon from Shipley. As you walk up Cliffe Terrace notice (on your right) the backs of some large stone houses which look over the valley. The first is Royd Mount, erected by Jonathan Walker who was a bookseller, etc., in Shipley. Above that is Oxenhope House, put up by Mr J W Parker who came from Oxenhope. And after several new houses is Spring Field House, built by Mr Samuel Lupton and later occupied by Mr John Robson, the gas and oil engine maker of Shipley. You eventually come to the top end of Cliffe Terrace: it becomes Baildon Wood Court at the junction with Rockcliffe Avenue which runs down very steeply to your right. This is a splendid viewpoint across to Idle Hill (with the 4 Baildon Heritage Trails Ferniehurst and Baildon Green radio mast) and Wrose Brow to the right, with the industrial estates in the valley bottom. With sharp eyes (or binoculars) you can make out the red brick chimney with 'John Smith Jams'; and a Victorian building now used by Saltaire Brewery (their sign is on the end of the building) which used to be where electricity was generated for Shipley and Saltaire trams. When you have drunk your fill of the view, or caught your breath, continue along Baildon Wood Court for a few yards, but where it levels off and swings slightly to the right you keep left uphill on the unnamed (and unpaved) track straight in front of you. You have now come to the area of Ferniehurst - and it is to the site of the former mansion (now modern housing) that Baildon Wood Court leads - but we shall approach the site from another direction. Ferniehurst and the Dell As you climb the track, the building up above you on your left is Ferniehurst Farm which was probably built in the 1860s as the home farm for Edward Salt's house which was called Ferniehurst. Pass this farm and you will eventually come to a track branching off to your left with playing fields and open ground. The houses at this side of the track were built when there was a hackney carriage stud farm on the land in front of them; the stud farm was eventually replaced by Ferniehurst Primary/First School which has in turn been demolished.

  • Saltaire Bingley and Nab Wood
    SALTAIRE, BINGLEY & NAB WOOD A 5.5 mile easy going walk, mainly at the side of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal and the River Aire with a pleasant halfway stop in Myrtle Park, Bingley, with no stiles and just one short hill through Nab Wood. At the end of the walk, do allow time to explore Salts Mill (see below). Start point: Saltaire Station, Victoria Road, Saltaire (trains every 30 minutes from Leeds). SALTAIRE is the name of a Victorian era model village. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection being given to the Congregational Church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete. Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium.

  • A Lunchtime Stroll in Leeds City Centre
    2 kilometres / 30 minutes to 1 hour. Accessibility – All this route is on pavements and avoids steps. A lunchtime stroll in Leeds City Centre There are numerous bridges and river crossings in Leeds. However, there is only one referred to affectionately as “Leeds Bridge”. This is where our walk starts. There has been some form of crossing here since the middle ages. The bridge you see today was built out of cast iron in the early 1870's. In 1888 the bridge was witness to a world first. The “Father of Cinematography”, Louis Le Prince, shot what is considered to be the world’s earliest moving pictures from the bridge. © It's No Game (cc-by-sa/2.0) Walk across Leeds Bridge and take a right along Dock Street. Dock Street began its life as a commercial entity in the 1800's. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, the canal network provided the catalyst for the city's growth. As its name suggests, boats used to dock along Dock Street. A deep dock allowed the loading and unloading of barges into warehouses. Today Dock Street still looks familiar, but the warehouses have become housing and business spaces. Converted and conserved in the 1980's. Continuing along Dock Street you will pass Centenary Bridge. This bridge was built in 1993 to celebrate 100 years since Leeds was granted city status. It also created better pedestrian access across the Aire. Dock Street c. 1930 By kind permission of Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Continue along Dock Street and you will come to Brewery Wharf.

  • Friends of a Dales High Way Newsletter Here
    The Friends lead a walk for Ride2Stride 2012 Friends of A Dales High Way eNewsletter No 1 Spring 2014 Friends of A Dales High Way [email protected] Hello and welcome to the 1st Friends of A Dales High Way e- newsletter. The first of many we hope. Friends of A Dales High Way is a small voluntary organisation whose aim is to support and promote the long distance trail. Since it was set up in 2009 we have raised the money to waymark the route, produced a leaflet about the trail, led 2 walks and put on events as part of the Ride2Stride walking festival. It’s free to join, just go to daleshighway.co.uk/friends.htm and you’ll get occasional newsletters and emails to keep you up to date with whatever’s going on. Plus you’ll have the chance to send us your own news to put in the next newsletter. Waymarking Waymarking was completed in July 2013 when the final marker was put up by the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The process had taken some time as the 4 local authorities that the High Way passes through: Bradford, North Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Cumbria, all have strict criteria about sticking up little arrows all over their bridleways and footpaths. These days the authorities prefer to have a less is more approach and it’s something that FoADHW agree with. We don’t want to see our fellsides littered with signage either. Walkers on A Dales High Way should not expect to see a waymark on every gate and stile along the way.
